Neto Murara, a 37-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper, is the preferred candidate to be the new signing for Juventus Turin to immediately reinforce their goalkeeping following Kamil Grabara’s serious injury. The goalkeeper has been free since leaving Botafogo and would arrive without a transfer fee to serve as an alternative to Guglielmo Vicario.

The sports management must decide in the coming hours whether to go to the market for players without contracts or to maintain the current structure until January. Grabara's anterior cruciate ligament injury leaves Carlo Pinsoglio as Vicario's main backup, along with the young Riccardo Radu, born in 2007.

After careful consideration, the management of #Juventus has decided to return to the #mercato with literally minimal spending to replace #Grabara: the favorite is Norberto Murara #Neto (37), who was already with the bianconeri from 2015 to 2017 and has been a free agent since July after his time at… pic.twitter.com/ZZM8fOkg5O

Neto Murara has given the green light to Juventus Turin

The candidacy of Neto Murara has gained ground due to two factors: his status as a free agent and his previous experience in Italy. According to Tuttosport, the representatives of the Brazilian have already shown their willingness to negotiate, and the player himself would be willing to return to Turin.

Neto terminated his contract with Botafogo on June 26, 2026, despite his original contract running until 2027. He ended that spell with 22 matches and has remained without a team since July 1st, so his inclusion would not require negotiating a transfer.

The operation would also mean his return to a club he knows well. Neto Murara defended Juventus' goal between 2015 and 2017, mainly serving as the backup to Gianluigi Buffon.

During those two seasons, he played in both editions of the Copa Italia won by the Bianconeri. In total, he won two Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia, and one Supercoppa Italiana before leaving Turin for Valencia in 2017.

Guglielmo Vicario loses his main competitor

The urgency arises from Kamil Grabara's injury, who was brought in this summer precisely as an alternative to Guglielmo Vicario. The Polish player started against NEC in the Europa League on September 17th, but two days later, he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session.

His absence leaves Vicario as the undisputed first choice in goal. Pinsoglio is entering his tenth season at the club, but his competitive participation has been limited: he has only played six official matches in nine seasons, a fact that raises doubts about maintaining the squad without another experienced goalkeeper.

Vicario himself has also had physical problems in recent seasons, including a hernia operation and an ankle injury. Juventus intends to bring in a second goalkeeper capable of playing immediately if the Italian international is unavailable.

Sergio Rico and Begovic emerge as alternatives

Neto Murara is not the only option being considered. The names of Sergio Rico, Alfred Gomis, Alessio Cragno, Jasper Cillessen, Bruno Varela, Adam Stejskal, and Asmir Begovic have also appeared, although the latest reports place the Brazilian as the frontrunner.

Sergio Rico is among the analyzed alternatives, while Begovic, at 39 years old, brings experience from clubs like Chelsea, Everton, Milan, and Leicester. Stejskal, born in 2002, offers a different profile option after being a starter at WSG Tirol.

The decision will mark Juventus Turin's next move during the international break. If the club decides to bring in a goalkeeper now, Neto Murara has an advantage due to his free agent status, familiarity with Italian football, and willingness to return. If no agreement is reached, the other option will be to keep Pinsoglio behind Guglielmo Vicario until the January transfer window opens.
